Slot Waste is an experimental video game installation that articulates a lengthy, absurdist Rube Goldberg-like production process. The fantastically grotesque creatures that populate the game are both autonomous and alive, yet their existences remain inextricably tied to the process of production. Centering the absurdist objective of total productivity, all waste, including the excretions and defecations of the various beings within the game, is continuously transformed into raw material. When playing Slot Waste, the ambiguity between life and death, waste and product, repulsion and desire, compels the player to interact with the machine to become part of the elliptical production process itself.

Exploring a conceptual relationship between the production of desire in video games and industrial production through machines, Slot Waste seeks to make apparent the desiring-machines that structure neoliberal capitalist social production.
